Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, who would become the next winner
Since February 1, the global IT industry a smoke, full of color and violence cunning population of fraud. Truth and the truth, no one said not! People concerned that the war hero Google, Yahoo and Microsoft, who will become the future really the biggest winner. Dan Burrows2 on 6 in SmartMoney, wrote that: Even though Google (GOOG) publicly denounced Microsoft (MSFT) on Yahoo (YHOO) acquisition, but its own stock price has encountered setbacks, since last August for the first time below 500 U.S. dollars mark. But any major acquisition is always difficult, not to mention the trap that is full of variables and the acquisition, it is estimated that Google's managers are secretly pleased. Even if the transaction (a bold assumption), the two main rival Google also may be several years of difficult integration of the drag down. If the views of some big, it may be the shareholders of the company. Market intelligence company Endpoint Technologies Associates president Roger - Kay (Roger Kay): "Google must be opposed, but this is homeopathy and for, but if I Google in the conference room, I might say: 'We should show Zuolibuan to look, but in reality not to intervene, let matters drift. " Roger - Kay (Roger Kay) that the average time-consuming large-scale mergers and acquisitions for two years, and this case is more complicated than most. Yahoo in Silicon Valley and Microsoft headquarters in Redmond in Washington, the two cultures are different, technical and marketing teams also need to re-match and integration. Yahoo is relying on large number of open source software operations, while Microsoft Windows is conducted through the operation of the two carriers to the terminal integrated way, technically is a major challenge. He said: "This is Microsoft employees speaking, would be an unprecedented project, the difficulties may arise is also daunting. Even if they succeed, they must also spread a lot of energy, so as to be brought to Google By the machine. " Citigroup analyst Mark - Mahaney (Mark Mahaney) in last Friday Microsoft announced the acquisition of information wrote: "If this transaction will change the habits of users, the Google is substantial negative. But we do not Microsoft and Yahoo that the marriage can change the user's behavior and, in fact, Google in the acquisition process may have caused uncertainty in the market to expand market share. " The next problem is that the combination of this reluctance can be successful when married » Canaccord Adams analyst Peter - Mi Zeke (Peter Misek) Monday wrote that if the merger successful, the relative Google's competitive edge could come as early as the 2009 show. If the United States and taking into account the possibility of European anti-monopoly, is likely to reach a deal later postponed. Bank of America (Bank of America) will be Yahoo's stock Tuesday from "buy" from "neutral", saying that "the acquisition will face the United States in particular, the European regulatory scrutiny, it might lead to successful transactions next time delay." Microsoft's biggest problem is how to piles of cash into investment, in the next 10 years continued high returns. But billions of dollars will be difficult to see Zaxiang Yahoo will receive such an effect. Microsoft a total of five operations, all of these businesses are dependent on the company's core products: Windows and Office. Microsoft's online division is not just Google and Yahoo a chance, but the company is the only loss of the sector. At the same time, Yahoo has been declining over the years, Google occupation of market share, in social networking and other Web 2.0 innovation pay Baijuan. Every wrong, Yahoo is the Internet's most-place, but it is only a portal, is on the concept of the 1990s. In the conversion strategy, the company has done no better than Microsoft, despite its hardware and software are usually not the quality of the original boasted so good. However, if we hear CEO Steve - Steve Ballmer (Steve Ballmer) acquisition of Yahoo's praise of the opportunities and benefits, it is clear he is only in Ziwotaozui. Holders of Microsoft shares Hardesty Capital Management senior portfolio manager Dave - Sidifusen (Dave Stepherson), said: "Everyone in the deal said how how good, I do not know what they want to. This is not a goal Layup, and even than a 3-pointer to far. Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo's results, I think the most one plus one equals one. " What is ironic is that Microsoft's embrace of the open-ended opportunity happens to be the shareholders just to see signs of improvement. Mainly due to Windows Vista and Office 2007 release, the company has outstanding performance for two consecutive quarters, and this growth momentum will not disappear within the short term. While Xbox 360 has finally begun profit sector. Over the years the company does not stop just before the stock price has improved. Now, MicroHoo the haze might in the foreseeable future to generate pressure on stock prices. Sidifusen that: "Microsoft shares have lost market four years running. Just like in the desert after the long journey, Oasis have finally seen the front, we finally have the water to drink. Then Microsoft made this decision. An inflatable, Oasis disappeared. We are now thinking is that if the transaction continues, we may sell the shares of Microsoft. Acquisition for us, it is not too much significance. " And in my humble opinion, they will not be a true winner! February 6, 2007 China Radio International: Over the past few years, the world's largest retailer - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. because of the U.S. treatment of employees has been criticized, even more so in U.S. history and become the largest class-action suit in the defendant: the U.S. Federal 9th On the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals approved the prosecution of seven women Wal-Mart sex discrimination case upgraded to the class-action suit, which means that the number of plaintiffs will reach 1.6 million, they are Wal-Mart's former and current employees.
